By visiting our local family-owned and operated businesses, our mission is to honor and celebrate their work and their perseverance in preserving what is left of the fabric of Venice, which is gravely endangered. We have a dual purpose: Yes, we want to get travelers “off the eaten path,” away from the tourist zones and help find great places to eat. But we also want to support the families who work tirelessly, day after day, to serve the city and the people they love. It is often a thankless job. We want to bring them recognition. We want to introduce travelers to their crafts, and hopefully, people will return and tell their friends. But most importantly, we want to help financially support them to help them stem the tide from the foreign investors and international chains that are plaguing our city. Every day we do a tour, it’s another day they can stay in business. We know that each and every meal counts, and with your help, we accomplish this together. We are thankful every day that like-minded travelers like you are there to help in this effort.

Every location we go on our tours has been chosen by us for exactly this purpose. We pay full price for everything. We have not, nor will we ever ask for a discount from them. We do not accept kickbacks or commissions. To that end, we also do not offer discounts for our tours. All of these things pull against the nature of our main goal, which is to support Venetians in their efforts to save themselves and our beloved city.

Enjoy a day in the life of a Venetian!

Blessed with some of the world’s best fish and seafood off the coast and the bounty of rich farmland inland, the Portuguese are spoilt for choice of great culinary resources. The cuisine of Lisbon, which draws from a diverse range of influences hinting at Portugal’s glorious trading past, is always based on the simple principal of supreme ingredients and a simple preparation that allows those ingredients to shine. On this half-day tour, we set out to find some of the best examples of local cuisine that Lisbon has to offer.

Our walk will begin at Lisbon’s greatest market, the Mercado da Ribeira, with a crash course in the building blocks of Portuguese cuisine. Visiting some of the market’s old-time fishmongers, produce sellers and butchers, we will explore the roots of Portuguese cuisine and then, in the market’s bustling central hall, sample some of the “fruits” of these ingredients, tasting rustic cheeses, top quality cured ham made from acorn-fed black hoofed pigs unique to the Iberian Peninsula, artisanal breads and local olive oils.

We’ll then set out to visit some of the time-honored establishments in the neighborhoods around the market. We’ll go for traditional savory pastries on the rooftop canteen of a nunnery. We’ll stop into an old, family-run grocery to try some top shelf tinned sardines – unlike any canned seafood you may have had before, this is superb – accompanied by a glass of vinho verde, the unique effervescent white wine from Northern Portugal.

At our next stop, the reincarnation of an old neighborhood institution that Lisboetas – as Lisbon’s residents are known – have been flocking to for generations, we’ll try the restaurant’s locally renowned cod fritters along with other meaty house specialties, paired with the distinct red wine from Alentejo. From there we will end the day on a sweet note, stopping in a local pastelaria for traditional pastries, before finishing with a few sips of ginjinha, a sour cherry liqueur beloved by locals and whose sweet flavor is yet another essential element that defines Lisbon’s culinary identity.

In addition to your Culinary Backstreets guide, all food consumed on the walk – more than half a dozen different edible specialties – are included in the price. A limited selection of alcohol is served on the walks and is included in the price.

On our award winning Dublin Tasting Walk, we visit a range of bakeries, food halls, street markets, cheesemongers, delicatessens and other speciality shops.

As you enjoy the food, you’ll also learn a little about the culture and history of each neighbourhood.
